    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container.

    Tolis,

    8007045 d = "ERROR_IO_DEVICE - the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error."

    Click the tab "Tools".

    Click on "check now".

    check * two * check boxes, and then click Start.

    Follow the instructions to restart windows.

    Before Windows recharge, it will run a full chkdsk, which can take an hour or more.  take note of all the reported errors: if it says that it has replaced bad clusters in file, these files could now be corrupt.

    If there is a lot of mistakes, you should you consider backup of your data files, fitness and installing a new version of windows.

  • XP - error Code: 80040154 (cannot install updates)

    All started with Windows Update. It has not been updated. Not automatically, or manually. He repeated:

    The files required to use Microsoft Update are longer registered or installed on your computer. To continue:

    Register or reinstall the files for me now(recommended)
    Let me read it on other measures that may be required to solve the problem

    I chose the recommended option, it showed, it has been downloaded files, then save, then he returned to the foregoing. I left alone.

    Next Windows Defender would not be updated and gave me the error code 80040154, I uninstalled it. Tried to scan the laptop using Windows Live One Care Web Site. From the beginning of the download, it stopped and gave error code 80040154, I installed Windows Security Essentials, when it finished installing he tried to update and gave error Code 80040154. Finally, I timed it trying to update Windows from the update site, check the update log and you guessed it. IT FAILED DUE TO THE ERROR 80040154.

    Recently, I tried to reinstall Windows Live Messenger and I can't connect because of why? WHY? 80040154 ERROR CODE!

    WHAT IS THIS ERROR? HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

    Help, please. I need to update windows so I can update my google video chat, can't use it cause it is says I have to update windows. WHAT IS THIS ERROR?

    80040153 translates into "class not registered".

    I recommend trying to re-register the DLL from Windows Update files by using method 4 in the article below:

    You can also try other methods as well, as they won't hurt but the method that I think will help #4.
